    When hot removing memory, a firmware_map_entry which has memory range of
    the memory is released by release_firmware_map_entry().  If the entry is
    allocated by bootmem, release_firmware_map_entry() adds the entry to
    map_entires_bootmem list when firmware_map_find_entry() finds the entry
    from map_entries list.  But firmware_map_find_entry never find the entry
    sicne map_entires list does not have the entry.  So the entry just
    leaks.
    
    Here are steps of leaking firmware_map_entry:
    firmware_map_remove()
    -> firmware_map_find_entry()
       Find released entry from map_entries list
    -> firmware_map_remove_entry()
       Delete the entry from map_entries list
    -> remove_sysfs_fw_map_entry()
       ...
       -> release_firmware_map_entry()
          -> firmware_map_find_entry()
             Find the entry from map_entries list but the entry has been
             deleted from map_entries list. So the entry is not added
             to map_entries_bootmem. Thus the entry leaks
    
    release_firmware_map_entry() should not call firmware_map_find_entry()
    since releaed entry has been deleted from map_entries list.  So the
    patch delete firmware_map_find_entry() from releae_firmware_map_entry()
